Abstract

The theme of multiculturalism constitutes a discussion of obvious relevance in contemporary society. When starting from observations that take into account the multiplicity of social and cultural discourses, the problem of morality takes on a position of obvious importance. In this context, the following text deals with the double question about the issue of morality in the face of the fragmentation of multiple social discourses and also focuses on the problem of otherness that emerges in the relationship between autonomous cultural rationalities.

Keywords: multiculturalism, otherness, Systemic Theory.
